Opportunity summary

The Wireless Products team, within BAE Systems Digital Intelligence, is recruiting talented graduates, typically in the fields of Electronic Engineering, Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science.

From underwater to outer space, work on a wide range of complex problems and develop your skills in areas such electronics, software, signal processing and mathematical modelling.

Hungry for a technical challenge? Want a noble and rewarding mission? Enjoy making things or understanding how technology works? If so, we’d love you to apply so we can tell you more.

About the business

The Wireless Products team develop innovative mission critical technology for our customers. We design, build and support high performance electronic systems. Our core work lies in software defined radios from their physical design and build to the applications that run on them. We conduct research and modelling (particularly in electromagnetics, optics and radio systems).

Our team is part of BAE Systems Digital Intelligence, a leading supplier of cyber, intelligence and security capabilities. The company plays a significant role in keeping our country safe and it’s something we’re extremely proud of.

About the role

You will join a project team of talented engineers and technologists, who will coach and support you to gain the necessary skills. You will work closely with our customers to find solutions to their most complex problems. You will also have the opportunity to work on all stages of a product lifecycle, from concept and design through to build and support.

Within the Wireless Products team there are a variety of roles suitable for graduates, and while you may specialise in one or more, you will be encouraged to develop a broad set of skills and understanding. Opportunities include:
  • Designing high performance electronics (digital/RF/analogue) for our products
  • Manufacturing devices designed to operate in extreme environments
  • Creating software applications and GUIs (typically using C, C++, Java, Javascript or React)
  • Developing software and/or firmware for a range of target devices including FPGAs, ARM processors, GPUs and microcontrollers (typically using VHDL or Verilog)
  • Designing signal processing algorithms
  • Mathematical modelling


Within the Wireless Products team, we understand you’re not going to know everything straight away so you will participate in specialised training to bring you up to speed. You will also have a buddy assigned to help you find your feet. We will support you with a career mentor who will guide you through your career as it develops. We will encourage you to work towards professional registration and get involved in engineering outreach activities to inspire future generations of engineers.

Who are we looking for?

Our team needs people with excellent problem solving skills, enthusiasts for technology, who enjoy making things and understanding how they work.

Entry Requirements:
  • On track to achieve or achieved (within the last 3 years) 2:1 degree in Engineering (typically EEE), Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science or similar.
  • Only those with the permanent and unrestricted right to live and work in the UK will be considered for a position within specific areas of BAE Systems Digital Intelligence. Due to the nature of our work successful candidates for this role will be required to go through Government SC clearance prior to starting with us. https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/united-kingdom-security-vetting

  • An interest and aptitude in solving problems
  • Excellent analytical and numerical skills
  • Highly motivated and a desire to learn
  • Clear and effective communication skills
